《理想国》是西方哲学经典中的经典。在书中，作者柏拉图从他的老师——苏格拉底的第一人称的角度，讨论了公正的含义，做一个伪装的好人、实际上的坏人是否是人的最大的利益；统治本身是有利于统治者，还是有利于被统治者；国家应有的状态是什么？灵魂的轮回等，提出了历史上颇负盛名的"洞穴比喻"以及"理型"的观念。本书中有关于社会形态的讨论成为了共产观念思想的源头。本书译者曾译出《苏格拉底之死》（上海译文出版社），此次对《理想国》的翻译，他参考使用了多种英译本（其中最重要的是哈佛大学的洛布丛书、保罗·肖里译本、Basic Books的布卢姆译本和哈克特出版社的C.D.C.里夫的译本）对照翻译，并参考了数种中文译本（包括王太庆、郭斌和、王晓朝、张竹明等）最大限度地增加了注释，极大地提高了翻译的准确性。本书纸质为纯质纸、设计包装精美，也是收藏的理想版本。(Utopia is a classic in the Western philosophical classics. In this book, the author Plato, from his mentor - Socrates's first-person point of view, discussed the meaning of justice, and if being a camouflaged good person and an actually bad person is the greatest benefit for the people; if ruling itself is conducive to rulers themselves or to the people to be ruled; what is the status that a state should have? The reincarnation of souls, etc., and put forward the concept of the prestigious "cave metaphor" and "rational genre" in the history. The discussion of social forms in this book became the source of the idea of communist ideology. The translator of this book ever translated The Death of Socrates (Shanghai Translation Publishing House). For the translation of Utopia, he referred to a variety of English editions (among which, the most important is the Loeb Series of Harvard University, Paul Schorley's edition, Bloom's edition of Basic Books and C.D.C. Reeve's edition of Hackett's Publishing House) for comparison translation, and referred multiple Chinese editions (including Wang Taiqing, Guo Binhe, Wang Xiaochao, Zhang Zhuming, et. al), to add into annotations to the greatest extent, greatly improved the accuracy of translation. The paper book is made of pure-quality paper, designed and packaged exquisitely, an ideal version for collecting.)
